Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -1) and has the slope of -3

Answer 1

The y-intercept is b=y1−m⋅x1

b=−1−(−3)⋅(2)=5

Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=mx+b

y=−3x+5

Answer:

The slope of the line is m=−3

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=−3x+5
